My journey in music didn't start in a studio—it started in the crowded, sweat-drenched venues of the Southern California punk scene. Throughout the late '90s and 2000s, I was the [Singer and Lead Guitar] for a punk rock band that was on the verge of breaking through. We poured our blood, sweat, and passion onto legendary stages, from the Sunset Strip's Whisky a Go Go to the House of Blues. We were chasing a dream.
But as any musician knows, the industry isn't always a straight line. After a classic falling out, the band was over, but my love for music wasn't. I'd always been a huge fan of hip-hop, captivated by the raw creativity of beat-making. So, I traded my guitar for a sampler and a DAW and pivoted, diving headfirst into producing hip-hop.
That transition taught me everything. I saw firsthand how hard it was to find reliable information and the right tools without a network. I created this website for one simple reason: I want to make your path easier than mine was.
